In what reason in Laravel Docs set this dump limit of 65 chars per line?
.max-w-prose { max-width: 65ch !important; }
Stupid waste of screen space. Content took only about 1/4 of screen width and has VERY long vertical scrolling. And ugly right border.
Is it because of using this dumb tailwind css framework and lack of UI experience? Pure experience in reading docs.
@pavelmove It’s not a “dumb” limit, or because of Tailwind or any particular CSS framework. It’s because it’s a well-held usability fact that the optimal line length for readability is around 50–60 characters per line. No one can comfortable read passages of text the entire width of a say, 21-inch monitor.
Might be an idea to educate yourself a little before signing up to a forum just to post a passive-aggressive rant.
No need to full 21-inch monitor.
Lets take bootstrap (yeh, i know, "bootstap sucks, they do know nothing in usability"). I have about 100 char per line and it is much more comfortable to read their docs, nither laravel's one.
Your last sentence almost entirelly fits in single line (excluding last word), and that is almost ok. Wuold you count, how it long in terms of chars?
@pavelmove I don’t really know what you’re arguing here? The longer a line of text gets, the harder it is to read. It’s not just some made-up thing; it’s an actual statistic derived from actual studies.
Like I say, it is an optimal value, though. It doesn’t mean that no one can read a line of text longer than –60 words. So I’m not sure why you’re then trying to justify other sites using longer lines to try and contradict this. However, it is something that the developers of the Laravel website have decided to pay heed to and limit line lengths, obviously much to your annoyance.
